[nabs-l] financial aid

[Beth]

Well, ... ok, someone made a point that we owe a trillion dollars 
in student loan debt, including the federal government loans.  
Some religions, such as Islam, prohibit interesft, which loans 
accrue.  I know a blind Muslim student or two going to college 
who can't do loans, so he has to rely heavily on Rehab to pay for 
it.  The only reason I think Rehab's paying for it is because 
he's on SSI, holds a Gree Card, is not a citizen of the U.S., and 
is/was until recently on refugee status in Somalia.
Thanks.
Beth

Uh, Beth, what does that have to do with absolutely anything?

 This message regards financial aid.  Wasif, you said FAFSA won't
 pay if my GPA is below    2.0.  Well, I have SSI and can't pay
 for school even with loans.  Loans aren't worth crap, and
 government loans aren't worth crap either.  I say this because
 some students, even Muslim students, can't pay the loans back
 because interesft is considered Riba, or evil.  You can't borrow
 money from banks due to religious reasons, and that's the truth
 for some people.
